If you find yourself debugging generated scripts, you have done something wrong.
- CJefferson 5y agoI agree, but I have done things wrong with autotools, then spent hours debugging the generated scripts to figure out what I did wrong.
- trasz 5y agoNot really - from my experience autotools can’t really be expected to work properly on any system it wasn’t tested on. And it’s way easier to hack the generated script - usually just commenting out the problematic part, as almost none of those scripts generated by autoconf serve any purpose.
